Large but homely pub situated a short walk from the town centre and about 10 minutes from the railway station. Six handpumps dispense mainly beers from Kent and Sussex breweries, such as Cellar Head and Iron Pier, on an ever-changing basis, plus real ciders from Turners and Charrington's. Local bands perform live most Saturday evenings and also on festival weekends. Check the chalkboard for information about forthcoming music and events. Ample space is available in which to enjoy live music, monthly quizzes or a game of bar billiards. No food service from the kitchen at the moment but a pizza van serves on Fridays and Saturdays 5-9pm.

Information for this venue is provided by the West Kent Branch of CAMRA
